The word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of the soul and the spirit, and of the joints and the marrow, and is a critic of thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb. 4:12)

All Scripture is God-breathed, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; that the man of God might be mature, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (2 Tim. 2:15)

SATAN AND DEMONISM

Before the beginning of human history Satan and his angels instigated a conflict in the spiritual realm that continues to this very moment. The drama of this spiritual warfare storms across the pages of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Mankind was created to resolve this ancient conflict, but Satan and the unseen demon hordes he commands will not suffer defeat without an intense struggle. One tactic Satan employs is the varied facets of demon activity. Demonism has pervaded and plagued mankind since the fall of Adam.

Demonism blinds unbelievers to the Gospel, distracts believers from the spiritual life, and threatens nations with divine judgment. Those who are ignorant or confused about Satan’s subtle strategies become easy prey. Critical questions continually arise: How do people become enmeshed in demonism? What is demon influence? Who can be demon possessed? Is exorcism valid? How can the believer protect himself from demonism? Only the Bible can answer these questions and eliminate the confusion.

Human beings under the influence of demons are pawns in the diabolical cause of Satan. Disaster is the ultimate finale for human devotees. The Bible emphatically warns believers against courting or consorting with any form of demonism.
